The rest is just noise

Only a short time later, Louis replaced McHale with Rodman.

The presence or absence of Rodman can be regarded as an indicator of the Knicks' defensive strength.

If the Knicks want to increase their defensive intensity, they will definitely let Rodman play.

On the offensive end, the Lakers finally took advantage of the tragedy player's ball-handling threat to call for a pick-and-roll to create a mismatch. David Robinson faced Rodman inside. Although Rodman was also suffocating on the defensive end, facing the seven-foot center in the inside,

His body has no advantages at all

Just when Robinson was about to use his physical advantage to hit hard, Ewing behind him was like a gorilla wandering in the jungle grabbing a branch, flying over and covering his ball hard to the ground.

The tragedy maker was lucky enough to pick up the rebound, but was instantly attacked by a three-man team from the Knicks.

The physical confrontation and defensive intensity they brought reminded the tragedy man of their finals against the Celtics.

The Knicks' defense is far stronger than that of the Celtics...

Because the Celtics' defensive intensity was deliberately improved to match the offensive intensity, the intensity brought by the Knicks was not deliberate.

This is their normal intensity for playing in the Finals. As for their intensity in the game against the Celtics, it depends on how far the Lakers can push them.

As great as a tragedy master, he was so flanked by others at this moment that he couldn't even pick up the ball before he was cut off by Wilson.

After that, the counterattack is completed within a few seconds.

"We rarely see the forum being completely silent. The Lakers have been the dominant players here for a long time. But as soon as they enter the Finals, the situation is different. The Lakers will encounter a lot of troubles, so although such situations are rare, they are not unheard of.

happened before."

"We saw the Forum lose its voice when Ralph Sampson dominated Kareem; we saw the Forum lose its voice when Earvin Johnson lost in the 1984 Finals; the Lakers lost here again and again.

, Lakers fans have lost their voices again and again, and for them, this is like an annual experience."

Following closely behind, David Robinson gave Stockton a hat-trick first.

Later, he returned to the basket and rewarded Ewing with a hot pot for the second offense.

When there is such a never-ending sweeping machine in the paint, seeing him constantly assisting in defense, rotation, and filling in positions makes teammates feel extremely at ease, but makes opponents tremble all the time, walking on thin ice. However, the Lakers' problem is that inside

Having Robinson and Pippen on the outside is enough for most teams, but the Knicks have three or four people who can do the same defense.

If necessary, Louie can have all five of their guys on the court guard like Robinson.

Robinson's second shot didn't stop the Knicks' offense.

The ball is still in their hands.

The Knicks used a Jamaican pick-and-roll to mobilize Robinson's defense and hit the ball from outside to inside.

Robinson, who was moved to the outside, was unable to affect Rodman, who was cutting inside. The tragic division's defensive threat was 0.

Rodman dunked on Stockton's pass.

After that, the Knicks used their defense to teach the Lakers a lesson.

The Lakers didn't understand until today how the Knicks were able to defeat the Celtics.

The tragedy maker drew a double-team and then struggled to get the ball out.

Pippen broke through from the outside and passed Wilson with a fake move, trying to imitate the Iceman's fingertip pick. However, Rodman, like a wild beast that had lost its mind, rushed towards Pippen with all his strength and waved him to the ground.

.

"Beep!"

Referee Darrell Garretson blew the whistle and warned Rodman: "If you continue to be so defensive, I will definitely kick you out!"

Rodman turned a deaf ear to Garretson's words and looked at Louis.

Louis put his hand on his chest and pressed it down, signaling Rodman to stay calm.

Pat Riley gradually understood where the Knicks were strong.

Although the whole world knows that the Knicks are very defensive, do those who claim that they are very defensive feel the same way as the Celtics?

No, Celtic are the only victims.

Facing other opponents, the Knicks often don't need to use their full strength to defend.

From this point of view, the Lakers are proud that they are the second team to enjoy the full defensive treatment of the Knicks.

The last time anyone enjoyed this kind of treatment was the Trail Blazers in the final game of the 1988 Finals.

But the Knicks' defensive intensity in that game was not because it was necessary, but because Louis wanted to impress Jordan and massacre Jordan's team.

This is a well-founded but unnecessary confrontation.

Like what the Lakers encountered tonight, they belong to the same defensive package as the Celtics.

Rodman's violent foul on Pippen caused the latter to lose his sense of the game.

Pippen never thought that such a foul would occur in a basketball game, and he missed two free throws in fear.

The Knicks protected the defensive rebound, Wilson made a fast break, and Stockton made a long pass.

Aguirre's defense recovered quickly enough. Stockton didn't expect this guy to be able to defend so well, so he deliberately accelerated the ball in his pass to Wilson, leading the player with the ball, allowing the latter to receive the ball inside the three-point line.

ball.

Wilson got the ball, attracted the Lakers' defense, but passed the ball out at the last moment.

Gu屻/span>“唰!”

Miller followed up with a three-pointer.

25 to 15

The score difference came to 10 points.

Riley was forced to call a timeout.

"Since we are already 10 points ahead, why not let the Los Angeles fans see what real defense is?"

Louis asked as usual.

"Benj, Dennis, are you tired?"

What Louis said was to use a murder press. Both Wilson and Rodman had been playing on the court for a while, so he asked them if they were tired.

Rodman said confidently: "Where is this?"

"Okay! Since you are not tired, there are less than 5 minutes left in the first quarter. I hope you can lead the murderous pressing team to pull the score difference to more than 15 points."

As luck would have it, the Lakers took a break from Tragedy at this time and replaced him with Kevin Johnson to partner Pippen.

Lightning guards like KJ are a fatal threat to the full-court press.

But the Knicks already have a complete plan to advance quickly against small guards. KJ will be a trouble. Louis is willing to see him become a trouble, because the jealousy in his heart is already burning. Without the tragedy maker, if he can still have wonderful things

His performance will definitely add chips to his fight for power within the Lakers in the future.

However, Louis will not miss an opportunity to establish a victory just to provoke his opponent.

So he will not take special care of KJ. The five players involved in the murder of the press still have to treat the Lakers with the highest intensity.

Wilson, Rodman, Stevens, Selley, Reggie Williams appear.

Against KJ, Louis' matchup was with Williams guarding him.

Williams is the player with the fastest lateral movement and foot speed in the murder press group, faster than Wilson. Although he is not as good as KJ, by forward standards, he is quick enough and is the best candidate to defend KJ.

In addition, if KJ is forced into the corner, he will attack from a double attack; if KJ stops the ball, there will be a three-person attack; if KJ is likely to be in a one-stop situation, nearby players must decisively foul and other packages are arranged.

KJ is indeed KJ. His change of direction created space for a breakthrough, and then he quickened his pace, rushed to the frontcourt, and passed the ball to Robinson.

The latter dunked an empty basket.

The forum was filled with cheers and boos, because KJ's speech in New York caused a very bad public opinion for the Lakers, but now he is the player the Lakers rely on most.

Louis did not guide the players' defense, they would adjust according to the situation.

For those who murder the press team, it is a slap in the face for KJ to break down the defense so easily and assist his teammates in scoring.

It's offensive, it's insulting, it's a slap in the face to the egos of everyone in the Murder Squad.

Wilson's pull-up jumper scored 2 points in the Knicks' position battle.

When it came to the Knicks' defensive round again, Williams was still passed by, but KJ couldn't accelerate in a straight line and step on the accelerator like before.

Because this time it was more like Williams deliberately guided him to a certain position, and then Wilson double-teamed him to form a front-to-back attack.

Due to his height disadvantage, KJ was unable to find his teammates on the far side after being forced to stop by a tough defense. He had to wait for someone to respond.

No one came over for a long time, so he could only jump up and barely pass the ball.

Alex Stevens found an opportunity and saved the ball to intercept it.

The suffocation of the murderous press is gradually revealed. No matter how fast the ball carrier is, he cannot pass the half court by himself.

Riley couldn't help but roared at Pippen and others: "Go to the frontcourt and help KJ!"

After the Knicks stole the ball, Wilson assisted Williams in the frontcourt to score.

The score difference came to 12 points.

The Lakers' frontcourt manpower has increased, and accordingly, the Knicks' manpower has also increased.

Moreover, as Pippen came to the frontcourt, Rodman followed suit.

Letting DPOY participate in the frontcourt press is an extremely disadvantageous situation for the Lakers.

The game became tense, and KJ became angry with the Knicks' defense and soon had a conflict with Williams, who was guarding him.

After the conflict, he angrily dribbled along the sideline and was flanked by three people.

As a result, he successfully passed the ball and the Lakers played more and scored less.

This kind of goal is acceptable to the Knicks. KJ created opportunities under difficult defense. His performance was still very good. Although he could not save the shaky situation, it was enough to prove his strength.

Even "Voice of the Lakers" Chick Hearn said: "Maybe the Lakers should rethink KJ's positioning." To provide you with the fastest remaining, only noise updates, Chapter 734 of KJ
